  It would seem that you have a hardware problem.

  If under warranty, contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  If it's not under warranty contact a local and trusted computer repair, (not a type of installation of the repair shop retail chain).

• Diskette drive 0 seek failure

  Windows XP Pro is installed. Its a Dell Dimension 8400 series. Question is diskette drive 0 seek failure is. The disk has been disabled. Now stuck in a loop, to select one of the options to start... Windows starts normally, safe mode, last known good configuration, etc.

  What other options do I have? THX

  Hi rubenrjr77,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. You are able to access all the boot options?

  This would normally occur due to faulty or badly inserted diskette, incorrect settings in the system of entry/sortient system (BIOS), the diskette/tape drive interface cable, or lose the power cable.

  I suggest that you check in the system basic input/output system (BIOS), if all the settings are correct, for more information you can contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

  Hi FRANKDURHAM,

  1. are you able to boot into Windows after the error message?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3 when was the last time it was working fine?

  Usually, this would happen if the hard drive is not set correctly in the basic input/output system (BIOS) or the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) are incorrect.

  Basic input/output system (BIOS) is a program built into personal computers that starts the operating system when you turn on your computer. It is also referred to as system firmware. Basic input/output system (BIOS) is part of the hardware of your computer and is separate from Windows.

  Microsoft cannot provide specific instructions for changing your CMOS and BIOS settings because they are specific to your computer. For more information about the correct CMOS and BIOS settings for your computer and how to check and change these settings, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Am running windows Vista Home Premium

  Hi Bartamus premium,
   
  The error tells you that your "floppy" disk is not seen at the start.
   
  I guess that most of you do not have a floppy drive. Thus, you must restart the system and boot in the BIOS Setup screen. Disable the boot disk and make sure your hard disk is properly perceived. This majority happen usually when the battery on the motherboard is removed or died. Or when a reset has been made in the BIOS configuration screen.

  And this post here, too:

  "Just add to what Darrell has notified;  If you do not have a floppy drive in the system, go into the BIOS and make sure that the boot order is set to check your first optical drive (i.e. D:\), disk hard drive (usually C:\) next and finally the floppy drive (A:\).

  So it doesn't matter if you don't have in fact a floppy drive installed, because the system will never be able to check for one after booting from a bootable CD/DVD or hard drive"

• How to solve the problem up the msg "floppy seek failure" at the start and have to press F1 to continue?

  I get the message: "diskette seek failure" on start-up and must by pressing F1 to continue.

  I took actions

  1. I replaced my dvd/cd drive since was noisy and not reading. (I thought I had a HW problem with the drive because it was a bit noisy etc - maybe not the problem because I always get the message)

  2.i press F2 and changed my BIOS so that my hard drive and CD/DVD are the only elements used in the start menu to the top and deleted the other ports using record to remove from the boot sequence.

  3. using the Device Manager I have disabled the floppy drive A and uninstalled the SW, but whenever I restart Windows it says that it detects new HW and re - install the floppy drive on A.  I don't have a floppy drive on my computer!   I don't think that I had a drive on my control panel before this problem.

  I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.

• Why I have this message? Error: the floppy drive seek failure

  Original title: why I have this message?

  floppy drive seek failure. I don't have a floppy drive on my cumputer.

  Hello

  This problem occurs if the following two conditions are met:

  The computer has no floppy drive.
  1. the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS settings.
  2. for example, this problem may occur if the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS settings by default.

  To resolve this issue, use the system setup program to disable the floppy drive in the computer BIOS. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help make these changes.

  Warning of the BIOS:
  BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved.

• How to fix the floppy diskette seek failure at startup

  I have a Dell E520 desktop running windows 7 which has a "floppy" seek failure when I boot. My computer has 1 internal hard drive, a CD-ROM drive and a floppy drive. The problem started after I restored to the conditions of the factory settings in the BIOS Setup.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  ·         You use the floppy drive?

  Method 1: Disable the floppy drive

  Disable the floppy drive by going to the configuration of the training (don't know exactly how it's called, because it differs from the models) and selecting the floppy drive. You will then see an option to disable the floppy drive (floppy drive).

  (a) press F2 to enter the BIOS

  (b) of the devices to boot or Boot Device Priority

  (c) or set the floppy drive on disabled

  Method 2: Change the boot order so that the hard drive is listed everything first or otherwise prior to the floppy drive.

  The boot order should be as follows.

  First priority - hard drive

  Second priority - CD ROM drive

  Last priority - floppy drive

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
